Looming over the outskirts of Gotham City, Wayne Manor sits, a massive structure of stone and brick. Within its walls sits a mere man, watching over the city streets from the protective quarters of his underground lair. But Wayne Manor never existed. Nor did the home of the Jetsons or the Flintstones. But that certainly didn’t stop Mark Bennet from ...

I know what you’re thinking. This is a meat sculpture. A geeky meat sculpture at that. There should definitly be some sort of bacon integrated into the design, or at the very least, Unicorn Meat. But, alas, there is no bacon to be found. Some Trekkies will just never learn. Created using various sausages and even some salami for good ...

You know how you can use Apple’s Photo Booth app to take some crazy-ass photos of yourself using the various effects? Designer Mark Pernice had the bright idea of creating a mask representing one of the photos taken using Photo Booth and then somehow magically using the app to recompose himself while wearing the mask. Or something like that. I ...

Designed to resemble a lomo camera, this itty-bitty pinhole camera is small enough to fit on the tip of your finger, yet is still capable of taking viewable photos. Upskirt enthusiasts are creaming themselves over this shit. Creator Francesco Capponi uploaded photos of his creation to MAKE’s photo pool on Flickr. Can we get a mini Canon to go along ...

Artist James Mylne took on the challenge of recreating Johannes Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring using only one single Bic Cristal pen. Apparently the sort of shading he accomplishes in the portrait is possible using a variety of different pressures. Man, it just boggles my mind that people can do stuff like this. I have trouble successfully composing a ...

Twitter user Stammy spotted one of the members of Atlanta rap duo UGLY rocking the hell out of this iPad chain. The iPad in question was playing a music video, we assume one of UGLY’s videos.
